Aru Machi Kado no Monogatari

The scene is set with a poster on a street corner, a girl who cherishes her teddy bear, a street lamp and a playful moth that is drawn to the lamp.

These creatures and inanimate objects, each with their own dramas, get involved in a war and the story ends in a tragic climax.

This is a private animated piece that expresses feelings rather than telling a story.

It can be said that Tezuka Osamu, frustrated with working for big companies, made an attempt here to depict what he really wanted in his animation.

This work illustrates that even a poster on the wall can have a vivid drama behind it, and brings the magic of animation alive for us.
